Aladdin (Disney Special Platinum Edition) (2004)
DVD is outstading. they need to release the tv series, too.
The DVD picture and sound are fantastic. I was surprised at how much better the picture looks compared to my (previously) treasured VHS copy. The image is widescreen probably 1.78:1 vs. the old 1.33:1 so it gives about 20% more on each side and about 10% more on the top also. the bottom was kept about the same. (I compared a few scenes vs. the old VHS). looks great on an HDTV, showing delicate hues of color all over the place, unseen on the vhs copy.
The sound options are great, too.
Boxed set doesn't offer much value. it's priced a lot higher than the dvd alone, and all you get is a very average book where they even placed pictures over the spine of the book so it's right over Jasmine or Aladdin's body or head sometimes. The large section with the artists sketches is ok, but I didn't find a lot of value in those, unless you want a copy of each artist's autograph. The negative is pretty nice if you own a scanner, but a photo of the same image on the box or insert would have been enough for me, so I don't think the extra money spend of those items is worth the extra value. I got it because this is a one time release, though anyway and it's been a long wait for this to get to DVD.
They changed the artwork on the DVD, and that was unnecessary . The original artwork they put on the VHS was better. On the DVD version they have Aladdin in his prince type outfit, but in this movie he's just got that blue vest the whole time so they shouldn't have changed the original artwork. The boxed set has the night scene of the 'cave of wonders' but I was hoping for artwork of the gang on the box. They should have put some of those great animated characters on the box like Aladdin, Jasmine and the rest of the characters instead of that cave.
